Found these vm34's on kijiji. I know nothing about carbs, but im a starting to read up on them . The seller has this to say about them :
I have*2 pairs of VM34.
They have*'primary type' needle.
They are jetted:
Primary: 40
Main: 180
Needle: 159-P0
*
Primary: 35
Main: 220
Needle: 159-P4*:

What do ya'll think ? Worth $100 or so ...he's also throwing in some various jets and diaphrams etc.

I might suggest searching around the site for info on the carbs. www.amckayltd.com/vm34-36.pdf is a good read to.

I've been reading most of the threads about carbs on this site , as well as a few other ...elevation matters as far as i've read ...toronto is 567 ft above sea level ...in what ways i should i account for this in tuning ? Plan is run one set of carbs with a baseline tune to the dyno and let them fine tune it for street riding..the other set gets stripped down and i clean (sonic cleaning and polish) them ,set them up with my dyno tune...dunno plans are kinda like my bowel movements they're different everyday...its late ..im kinda all there tonight.. :smoke:

I had the same problem with 'touch sensitivity' and character 'repeat' settings on my SG-S4. Found a stylus that stops that.

In your first post, you mentioned 'diaphrams'. What diaphrams?..?..?

Twomany: dunno what diaphrams he's talkin bout , but i rarely say no when sellers are just throwin free sh!t in with purchases..i envision this guy pullin out the carbs and a box of used ladies contaceptives " you bought'em now you gotta take em!"

Just keep reading and reading over and over again. Started to all make sense after a while of messing and kept messing around with these carbs. But finally got a good grasp on them. Take the brass out and see what jets and needles you actually have. Cleaned and blow out thorough. I think you have the same carb sides. (Not a left and right) pics are blurry?? But when installed you won't be able to access the idle screw.

And as for your elevation. You should be fine. Your pretty close to sea level. When you have to tune a bit Rucker is you are like 2k+ elevation. As air gets thinner as you get higher
